PHP word doc formatting

New Word documents use Office Open XML, which from what I can gather is a zipped XML document. So, have a look at this page - I don't know it will help:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb265236.aspx

It contains link to downloadable manuals of schemas etc. You may need to be able to access xsd files as well as pdfs though.

Opening a word document with an archiving program like 7-zip really lets you get under its skin. VERY informative.

For example a word file containing this:

Peace peace

Gives:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>

            <w:bookmarkStart w:name="_GoBack" w:id="0"/>
            -<w:r w:rsidRPr="00AC700E">
                -<w:rPr>
                    <w:b/>
                 </w:rPr>
                 <w:t>Peace</w:t>
            </w:r>
            <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0"/>
                -<w:r>
                    <w:t xml:space="preserve"> peace</w:t>
                </w:r>
         </w:p>
         -<w:sectPr w:rsidR="009C1713">
             <w:pgSz w:w="11906" w:h="16838"/>
             <w:pgMar w:gutter="0" w:footer="708" w:header="708" w:left="1440" w:bottom="1440" w:right="1440" w:top="1440"/>
             <w:cols w:space="708"/>
             <w:docGrid w:linePitch="360"/>
         </w:sectPr>
     </w:body>

So from the above, I take it that bold is <w:b/>?

Have you tried setting inline styles on the HTML body?

I agree. Open html in Word and then you can use a macro to autoformat.

Ever tried the PHPWord library ?
You can download it here

I don’t have an acrobat reader installed .
